I searched and searched, and couldn't come up with numbers-and I don't have Adrian's book-can someone tell me the actual weights of the RS mag wheels? Thanks in advance.

The RS real cast magnesium wheels are 7.5 X 17 and 9 X 17 wheels that look identical to those on an RS America.
The RS spec book claims that they save 10.6 kg per vehicle (23.3 pounds), no mention is made as to what wheels they are actually comparing to.
This equates to 5.8 pounds per wheel saving.

Magnesium is one third lighter than aluminum if you know the weight of the aluminum wheels you have it. Wish I could help more.

Thanks guys for the effort-this is the stuff I came up with searching, I thought maybe I was missing the hard numbers somehow-guess they're not out there. Jasmine in the UK is advertizing a set, I'm going to email them, maybe they know.
